Speaking to the official Mansfield Town Website, Keith Haslam said "Unfortunately things haven't worked out the way we both would have liked and I hope that Peter gets a very quick return to management and has better luck in the future."
"Everybody at the club would like to wish Peter all the very best of luck with his future career. In the meantime Paul Holland will be taking over the reigns in a temporary caretaker role until a suitable replacement can be found."
